"Towards an International Criminal Procedure"

Christoph Safferling, Assistant Professor in the Law Faculty,
University of Hannover

The aim of this book is to develop an international criminal
procedural order. The Statute of the International Criminal Court
(ICC) was agreed in 1998. This provides a rough outline of a
procedure, but it still needs to be made workable for the prosecution
of international criminals. Such a procedural order would need to
reconcile Continental and Anglo--American approaches. The book
therefore contains a comparison between German (i.e. one of the main
leading Continental legal systems) criminal procedure and English and
US criminal procedure, how they developed historically and
philosophically, and where they stand today. It covers the criminal
process from the first steps of the investigation up to the
imprisonment of the convicted.

In addition to this comparative perspective, this study also analyses
international human rights law as the basis of an international
procedural order. For this purpose the contents of the relevant human
rights law is extracted from international agreements and
international bodies such as the Human Right Committee or the European
Court of Human Rights and applied to the procedure of the existing
International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and that of the ICC
Statute.

As a contribution to the fast-growing field of international criminal
law, this book will be of use to all academics, practitioners, and
government officials involved with the new International Criminal
Court.

Readership: Academics, practitioners, and officials involved in

International Criminal Law: A Commentary on the Rome Statute for an
International Criminal Court offers a unique opportunity to revisit
the whole of international criminal law.

This thematic Commentary on the Statute appraises the contribution
made to international criminal law by post Second World War national
criminal courts and by ad hoc international criminal Tribunals;
re-examines the case-law developed by those courts and Tribunals;
establishes to what extent the Rome Statute codifies this body of law
or instead departs from it; and makes a critical assessment of the
Rome Statute as a viable working tool for international criminal
justice.

Written by an outstanding international team of experts under the
general editorship of Professor Antonio Cassese, this timely companion
to the burgeoning field of international criminal law will be of
interest to international legal scholars, practitioners, judges and
all those interested in the administration of international justice,
as well as to all students of international institutions

Readership: Academics and practitioners specializing in international
criminal law, government ministries and non-government organizations;
law libraries
